엘베-엘스터‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪20‬개의 동굴

이 인상적인 참나무는 수백 년 동안 시장 한가운데 서 있었습니다.

From 1796 until 1814, the castle remained under the administration of the Saxon Electors. In 1781, the officers' quarters were built right next to the castle. In 1851, the Prussian Provincial School Board commissioned the establishment of a seminary in Elsterwerda Castle. The Royal Prussian Teachers' Seminary opened in 1857 with 19 students. In 1926, it was replaced by the Elsterschloss Higher Secondary School, a state-run secondary school. In 1938, this school became a comprehensive school. During the GDR era (from 1959), the castle became the Extended Secondary School (EOS "Vladimir Komarov"). After German reunification in 1991, it became the present-day "Elsterschloss Gymnasium Elsterwerda." Following extensive renovations of the buildings beginning in 1995, the gymnasium is considered one of the most beautiful schools in Germany. https://lausitz.de/de/kultur/schloesser/artikel-elsterschloss-gymnasium-elsterwerda.html

The Saxon post milestone stands near the Protestant town church of St. Catherine on the main street. This distance marker, dating from 1738, is considered an important piece of cultural heritage and a landmark that shapes the townscape. In August 2025, the approximately 4.60-meter-high column was dismantled for professional restoration. https://www.elsterwerda.de/kursaechsische-postmeilensaeule-erstrahlt-im-neuen-glanz/

Here the owner has put a lot of time and effort into the decoration

what a crazy house

On the outskirts of the small town of Elsterwerda, where the Pulsnitz River flows lazily through the countryside like a memory, the castle rises – not magnificent, not loud, but with that quiet dignity that only old walls possess. The air smells of rain and wet wood, the treetops in the castle park stand bare and reverent, as if they wanted to listen to the history that lives everywhere between the walls. Formerly a hunting lodge, then a place of learning – the traces of time lie on the building like patina on old silver. The facade is light and understated, the roof brick-red, a clock tower that not only strikes the hour, but also the passing of eras. Anyone who stands here senses: This is not a place for quick selfies. This is a place for slow steps, for pauses, for looking back – and perhaps also forward. Matthäus Daniel Pöppelmann, court architect to Augustus the Strong, left his mark. Not a baroque exaggeration, not a miniature Versailles – but a building that seems to have grown into the land. It tells of noblemen and teachers, of princes and students. Today, young people learn here. They hurry across the courtyard, past the linden trees that provided shade even in the 19th century. They may not know it – but they are walking on ground steeped in history. And then there is the park. Not a botanical garden, but a small, vibrant setting with mature trees that glow in autumn, exude fragrance in spring, and quietly crackle under the frost in winter. You can linger here, even if you have nothing to do. The palace is not accessible, but it is enough to stand before it – as a stroller, as a thinker, as a silent guest. Those who come with open eyes will notice: Elsterwerda Palace is not a museum. It is a living chapter of the past, embedded in the present – and perhaps also an inkling of what can remain when so much passes away.

A very beautiful old postal mile marker. Marks the postal route from Berlin to Vienna.

Very beautiful castle with a pretty little park with great old trees.🌳
